Deductions & credits

Did you elect "Someone else can claim me" when you answered the interview question in the TurboTax program?

If you did, you should not be able to apply for any education credits.

If you are a dependent of your parents, and they are claiming your exemption, your parents should report the 1098-T and apply for an education credit.

If you receive the credit, and the IRS decides you were not eligible, you could lose the ability to apply for a credit in the future.

Please look under your "Personal Info" and see if you checked "Someone else can claim me as a dependent on their tax return"
